Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025-18 to accept a donated right-of-way from Linden LLC for the Raceway Road/100 North roundabout project; the company conditioned the donation on the town building a driveway entrance estimated at about $2,000 and the right-of-way valued at roughly $7,900.
The Avon Town Council on May 8 approved Resolution 2025-18 to accept a donation of right-of-way from Linden LLC to facilitate construction of a roundabout at Raceway Road and County Road 100 North.
Staff said Linden LLC offered to donate a portion of the northwest corner needed for the roundabout and requested that the town construct an entrance at that location, which would lock the entrance location for their planned development. Staff provided a cost estimate for constructing the entrance of approximately $2,000 and said the value of the right-of-way donation is about $7,900.
Staff explained that the parcel in question lies in the county (not yet annexed to Avon) and that Linden Square is a planned-unit development with a commercial component on the corner and residential components behind it. Linden LLC previously had county approval that has since expired; staff said the developer retains interest in eventual development and that town staff will draft a donation agreement for execution by the parties.
Council members asked whether the town can ask the owner to seek annexation; staff said the town could request annexation and that they would ask Linden LLC. The resolution authorizes acceptance of the donation and enables staff (identified as Anna and Dan in the meeting) to prepare the transfer documents and donation agreement.
Council approved the resolution by roll call.
